Pyrex Programmable Timer

Pros: portable, versatile, mult-event timer.
Cons: hard to clean around buttons; not water resistant.

I used to buy this same model before Pyrex started branding them. I keep going back to the same model. It's the only timer around that will time 5 events at once: four plus the countdown timer. Press enter after entering the time, and it stays in memory, for easy re-timing. Great for Thanksgiving or other occasions when several things need to be timed at once. I also use it as a portable clock and alarm clock. Countdown and countup features are useful.
